Doubters & Distractions

I’m on the precipice

of greatness

*

I know that for a fact

because that’s when

all the misanthropists

beg you to question

your direction

*

Put you down

and serve you sorrow

with their suggestions

*

Just when you’re on the brink of genius

is when they confidently doubt you

*

Just when you’re on the brink of freedom

is when they slip poison in your soup

*

The jealous ones will

try to hold you back

because as it goes

misery loves company

*

but I refuse to wallow

in someone else's woes

*

I’ve seen it all before

so I know better

not to succumb

to the madness

of diverting my path

to follow the ones

carved by other's

suggestions

*

I’m on the precipice

of greatness

and I’m well aware

not everyone can come with me

to the land of the enchanted

*

So I'll keep pushing forward

with my genius, my love, and my magic
